Homeless Brother - Don McLean (唐·麦克林)[00:00:00]

I was walking by the[00:00:00]

Graveyard late last friday night[00:00:02]

I heard somebody yelling it sounded like a fight[00:00:06]

It was just a drunken hobo dancing circles in the[00:00:12]

Night[00:00:17]

Pouring whiskey on the headstones in the blue moonlight[00:00:18]

So often have I wondered where these homeless brothers go[00:00:25]

Down in some hidden valley[00:00:31]

Were their sorrows cannot show[00:00:34]

Where the police cannot find them where the wanted men[00:00:37]

Can go[00:00:42]

There's freedom when your[00:00:43]

Walking even though you're walking slow[00:00:45]

Smash your bottle on a gravestone and live while you[00:00:50]

Can[00:00:55]

That homeless brother is my friend[00:00:56]

It's hard to be a pack rat it's hard to[00:01:02]

Be a 'bo[00:01:06]

But living's so much harder[00:01:08]

Where the heartless people go[00:01:10]

Somewhere the dogs are barking and the children seem to[00:01:13]

Know[00:01:18]

That jesus on the highway was a lost hobo[00:01:19]

And they hear the holy silence of the[00:01:26]

Temples in[00:01:30]

The hill[00:01:31]

And they see the ragged tatters as another kind of[00:01:33]

Thrill[00:01:37]

And they envy him the sunshine and they pity him[00:01:39]

The chill[00:01:43]

And they're sad to do their living for some other[00:01:45]

Kind of thrill[00:01:49]

Smash your bottle on a gravestone and live while you[00:01:52]

Can[00:01:57]

That homeless brother is my friend[00:01:58]

Somewhere there was a woman somewhere there was a child[00:02:04]

Somewhere there was a cottage where the marigolds grew wild[00:02:10]

But some where's just like nowhere when you leave it[00:02:16]

For a while[00:02:19]

You'll find the broken hearted when you're travelling jungle style[00:02:21]

Down the bowels of a broken land where numbers live[00:02:29]

Like men[00:02:33]

Where those who keep their senses have them taken back[00:02:35]

Again[00:02:39]

Where the night stick cracks with crazy rage where madmen[00:02:41]

Don't[00:02:46]

Pretend[00:02:46]

Where wealth has no beginning and poverty no end[00:02:47]

Smash your bottle on a gravestone and live while you[00:02:53]

Can[00:02:58]

That homeless brother is my friend[00:03:00]

The ghosts of highway royalty have vanished in the night[00:03:05]

The Whitman wanderer[00:03:11]

Walking toward a glowing inner light[00:03:13]

The children have grown older[00:03:17]

And the cops have gripped us tight[00:03:20]

There's no spot round the melting pot for free[00:03:24]

Men in their flight[00:03:27]

And you who leave on promises[00:03:31]

And prosper as you please[00:03:34]

The victim of your riches often dies of your disease[00:03:37]

He can't hear the factory whistle[00:03:43]

Just the lonesome freight train's[00:03:46]

Wheeze[00:03:48]

He's living on good fortune[00:03:49]

He ain't dying on his knees[00:03:52]

Smash your bottle on a gravestone[00:03:56]

And live while you can[00:03:59]

That homeless brother is my friend[00:04:02]

That homeless brother is my friend[00:04:08]
